Explore the Possibility of Life Without Glasses After Cataract Surgery
Many cataract patients also have other vision challenges that make it necessary to wear eyeglasses. Astigmatism and presbyopia (the need for reading glasses) are actually conditions that can be addressed and improved during cataract surgery! In fact, depending on your eye health, Dr. Mariano may be able to send you home after cataract surgery with the clear vision of your youth!
Bonner Eye Clinic is proud to offer our patients a variety of Lifestyle Lenses. During cataract surgery, your cloudy lens is replaced with a clear lens. The standard monofocal lens that is covered by insurance can correct your cloudy vision but most patients still need to wear reading glasses to see up close.
Realizing that an investment in vision improvement is an investment in quality of life, many patients choose to upgrade to Lifestyle Lenses to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses after cataract surgery in Grand Rapids or Hibbing at Bonner Eye Clinic.
